Well, there's a TSC message after that, which is completely unrelated to cfg80211. It could possibly be sleeping in the CRDA call and executes the TSC stuff in parallel (given that the TSC message is only a few microseconds later). I don't really know how parallelization is done here (if any). > Any further hints how to proceed in debugging this. Do you have cfg80211/mac80211 built-in or as modules? The TSC message after the cfg80211 message might indicate that it's built-in. It's basically impossible to tell what's going on here. You could do a git bisection to track down the bad commit. -- Greetings, Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
